​

So following  up on the release of 2nd full length album (10th May)  The EMPTY PAGE  do an 'Official Manchester album launch' gig.

​

This a band been following from early days (when under another  name) seeing them live in pubs. This gig was upgraded  to the larger  Pink  Room  from  the basement  stage at venue.

​

The set begins with Big Nasty Palpitations, and if you  ever been to an Empty Page gig , you will surely end up with palpitations  by end.

​

For this gig a keyboard player  added on stage, this gave bands sound a new dimension.

Your Tame & Deeply  Unlovable  quickly  followed.

​

The pace slowed a little  for the song  Life Is A Wave . Majority  of songs in hour long set came from new album, IMPLODING, with Big Wheel & Wardrobe Malfunction off 1st album, UNFOLDING, also in set.

​

With his unique  style  of guitar  playing GIZ bounds around stage, while Singer/bassist  KEL maintains her stance to right of stage.

​

It took a while  for the appreciative audience to get moving about, but by the last 3 songs  - Cock Of The 5th  Year , When The Cloud Explodes &  the discoesqe song Dry Ice, the majority  were  singing/bopping  along.

​

Overall for me this was one of the best live performances  by The  Empty Page  seen.

​

Good stage lighting, especially  on  'I'm a White Hot Blade (Witches are Wicked)'.

​

The band are undoubtedly  proud to be a totally  independent  band and do things their way.
